The Peoria officers and newspaper men discussed with the the Carolinian h:s face until that not so bad looking portion cf his anatomy tingled with a blush of embarrassment. All agreed that he was the first Southern sher iff they had ever seen without a long coat, slouch hat and profusion of whiskers. The newspapers made much of the fact, and on every side the oddity from "down home" was re quired to explain that he was a repre sentative of the new South.

Gra hum, commissioner of agriculture, who recently undertook to help the cot-) ton situation by getting fertilizer companies to agree to take cotton at 10 cents in payment of fertilizer bills, receives answers from the Virginia Carolina Chemical Company and the Loyster Company, declaring it im possible fb do as he requests. The Virginia-Carolina Company writes its utter impossibility to enter tain the idea. "If 99 per cent, of our total amount sold on credit last year is collected," it writes, "the profits will net us less than 80 cents a ton, though we did more than a million ton business. Suppose we take cot ton at $50 a bale and had to market this cotton at $40 a bale, it would en tail a loss, as you will see, of $10 a Lain." Declaring that it costs $5 a ton to collect fertilizer and the sale price is $20 a ton, two tons of guano would amount to one bale of cotton. "If we did all of our business along this line, on the amount of goods sold last year, we should lose $3,000,000 as against a net profit of $800,000," the writer says. The Virginia-Carolina Company then suggests that each cotton grow er pay a liberal per cent, of his debt, and the company wlil carry him with cotton as collateral.
